Chinese Smart Water Meter White Paper Released in Shenzhen
On the track of global IoT and smart city development, China is expected to take the lead. China Telecom and Huawei recently jointly held a seminar on IoT applications in the field of smart city public services in Shenzhen. At the meeting, it was revealed that in the first half of 2017, China Telecom will build an NB IoT network that is globally leading in terms of scale, coverage, quality, and application scope, achieving full network commercial deployment and laying a solid foundation for the Internet of Things in the intelligent era. The first quarter has just passed, in other words, the world's largest NB IoT IoT will be built in the second quarter of this year.
Sun Jian, Deputy General Manager of China Telecom's Government Enterprise Customer Business Unit, and Zhang Shunmao, President of Huawei's Global Solutions Department, attended the conference and gave many valuable speeches. Both parties coincidentally revealed that they welcome industry chain partners to seize the development opportunity of NB IoT, work together with the industry chain to support the construction of smart cities with the concept of "openness, co construction, and win-win", and expand and share the market "cake".
China Telecom has revealed that it will vigorously build a low-frequency wide coverage Internet of Things based on the 800M frequency band this year, achieving "one-stop access to the entire network service", and achieving NB IoT full network coverage by the end of June. At the same time, China Telecom has launched a business platform, using the Tianyi IoT Industry Alliance as a starting point, relying on IoT open laboratories, strengthening the foundation of ecological cooperation, providing hundreds of millions of yuan in subsidies and incentives to support the development of IoT.
NB IoT is widely recognized in the industry as having characteristics such as wide coverage, low power consumption, large connectivity, and low cost, making it more suitable for massive connectivity and widespread deployment. With the acceleration of smart city construction, safe, convenient, green, and efficient new smart cities have become the development direction of future cities. NB IoT technology will play an important role in the field of smart cities with a focus on public utilities.
China Telecom, Shenzhen Water Group, and Huawei jointly released the "NB IoT Smart Water Meter White Paper", which elaborates on the three parties' action plans and implementation plans in the field of NB IoT smart water meters from the aspects of consolidating basic capabilities, promoting the implementation of key projects, and establishing industry demonstration benchmarks, and looks forward to the future development of smart water.
Behind the release of the white paper, the world's first NB IoT smart water project has been officially commercialized in Shenzhen. China Telecom, Huawei, and Shenzhen Water Group have launched a series of innovative collaborations, including household meter collection, pipeline monitoring, and integration of water information applications, making Shenzhen the world's first city to use NB IoT IoT on a large scale to provide water services. Shenzhen residents can once again taste the taste of technology.
China Telecom has signed strategic cooperation agreements with multiple leading enterprises in the upstream and downstream of the Internet of Things, working together to accelerate the construction of a new smart city business system. It is reported that China Telecom will collaborate with leading water/gas companies, terminal manufacturers, and platform manufacturers to jointly draw up a blueprint for the development of NB IoT in the field of smart city public utilities in the future.
